Big Bike Baskets?
Where's the best place to get these, best meaning cheapest. Yard sales and Craigslist haven't worked to well for me.
Thanks.

Try bennys, mist of the bikes near the canal have them. Sailworld, serious cycles, and the shop off of exit 2 on rte 3. Wald is the name of the company that makes the baskets

Bennys may be out of stock and will not match Amazon's non tax price for the big Walds...

 Given the diversity of the human species, there is no “normal” human genome sequence. We are all mutants.

Custom yes in that I modified the dimensions from shelf taken out of a greenhouse window.
I have one more shelf that could be customized for a plug! Being all aluminum don't have to worry about rust or rotting. |

Milk crate, heavy duty zip ties... sometimes a bike basket doesnt have to be a "bike Basket" from the store...

Like most things you can more or less spend as little or as much as you want. I made my cruiser from my wife's Fuji mountain bike. which she no longer rode. So to me, the main bike was as good as free. I went with the medium sized Wald rear baskets, cost me around $30 during an Amazon sale. A 4' piece of PVC and a couple of rubber drain couplers (to protect the reel stems), and an improved comfortable seat are the only other things I spent money on. I think I've got about $60 total into it. |

added a center flat section with my sons old skateboard deck ripped to width and attached with cable ties.... scratchy grip-tape on top hold things in place when bungied down... Tim and I made this deck a few yrs ago but it was not flexible enough for "good carving " perfect new life for this laminated piece... he says it has good mojo....
